We catch up with Stefan as he heads off to his first ever rodeo to defend the honor of Red Diamond ranch after his boyfriend Rand Holloway is tricked into missing the event. You can’t even really call him a sweet-talker because he’s not really, just a straight-shooter who doesn’t see why things can’t go his way most of the time. Stefan Joss is quick-witted and sharp-tongued and I love how he just works to get things done, no matter how hard they are, and he convinces everyone to go along with him almost against their will. One of my favorite things about this series is the humor I find in it. Once again starting this review saying this is a re-release of a story I read a long time ago and it is still one of my go-to stories when I need a smile. When Stef gets the chance to prove his devotion, he doesn’t hesitate – despite the risk to his health – and Rand takes the opportunity to show everyone that sometimes life’s best surprises come after the sunset.

Finally, after recognising how unfair he’s being, Stef makes a commitment, and Rand is over the moon. Rand wants him home on the ranch Stef wants an exit strategy in case Rand ever decides to throw him out. But the course of true love never does run smooth. This book was filled with everything.Two years after riding off into the sunset with ranch owner Rand Holloway, Stefan Joss has made a tentative peace with his new life, teaching at a community college. We were blown away! I KNOW I will come back to these books when I need to reassured there are great books out there and amazing writers. It has been out a while and when we came across it we knew because it was Mary Calmes that we were reading it. more and we were so in love with this series. I got him really up there on that pedestal. Review 2: Better then book 1 and I really really really am 100% positive that Stef is my all time favorite. This book is amazing and everyone should read it. I just loved how Stefan grew and finally opened his heart and his life to Rand, and in return found a real home and the family that he so deserved. He wasn't afraid to show his love for Stefan or to make sure that his needs and wants were known.

He approached their relationship the way he approached his life, once he knew what he wanted he went for it, no holds barred. Rand's openness and honesty with Stefan was so refreshing. Review 1: One of the few times the sequel is just as good if not better than the original.
